Included Excursions

Dartmouth (half day)

We spend some time at leisure in the riverside town of Dartmouth for our half-day excursion. Known as the ‘Jewel of the South Hams’ and a former home to Agatha Christie, Dartmouth is easily one of Devon's prettiest destinations thanks to its views over the estuary.

Plymouth (full day)

Today we make our way to Plymouth, with a stop on the way in Moretonhampstead, a pretty town in Dartmoor National Park. Afterward we continue to Plymouth, the vibrant waterfront city known for its university and breathtaking views of the ocean. Enjoy the fresh air and the scenery while you take a stroll around the waterfront and immerse yourself in the city’s rich maritime heritage.

Optional Excursion

Dawlish & Teignmouth - £13pp (half day)

Our optional excursion takes us first to Dawlish, a quaint and friendly resort that was once a tiny fishing village until the Victorian Railway Age turned it into a thriving seaside town. It nestles between striking red sandstone cliffs overlooking a sandy beach, with the railway still running right alongside the seafront. We then make our way to Teignmouth, a handsome estuary town which has the benefits of a bustling harbour as well as the classic attractions of a seaside resort. It boasts an elegant Georgian crescent, promenade and Victorian pier with fine views across the bay.
